Genshin Impact: Aloy guide — Weapons, artifacts, and talents
Play as Aloy in Genshin Impact and use her abilities with the help of our character build guide.

Aloy is the heroine of the Horizon Zero Dawn franchise. You might be wondering what she’s doing in Genshin Impact? Well, she’s actually a promotional character, a 5-star bow wielder who’s also free to obtain. Here’s our Genshin Impact Aloy guide to help you with her best weapons, artifacts, talents, and build.
Note: For more information about the game, check out our Genshin Impact guides and features hub, as well as our version 2.1 overview.
Genshin Impact Aloy guide: Best weapons, artifacts, and talents
I’ve divided our Genshin Impact Aloy guide into several sections. You can refer to the pages below for the parts that you need help with:
- Talent priorities, passives, and constellations
- Best weapon
- Best artifact sets
- Character ascension materials
- Gameplay tips and character summary
Note 1: Aloy will remain a PlayStation (PS4/PS5) exclusive from September 1 until October 13. When version 2.2 goes live on October 13, you can obtain her via in-game mail if you’re on a different platform. However, we do have a mini-guide on how to get her early, but only if you have a PS4/PS5 and you plan on switching back to your PC.
Note 2: Information about Aloy has already been leaked and data-mined ahead of release (i.e., you can see this listed via Honey Hunter World/Honey Impact).
